Custom Cars during races question

BlackGhostNumba6

I have worked hard to win my however many races needed to unlock turbo, and therefore installled it on my Bati 801. However, when starting a motorcycle race and selecting to use my custom Bati 801, it shows the stats as being stock. The paint job is still custom but it is not my souped up version. What gives? Am I missing something?

Also, if they just didn't have custom turbos and engines available during races that'd be fine, its just other bikes blow by me no matter what, specifically other souped up Batis.

Thanks, so just to clarify, if he (the host) has custom vehicles disabled, that means I can not use upgrade Enginge, Turbo, etc.? Yet I can still use my custom paint..

I guess that makes sense. I will pay more attention to detail tonight, but it seems to be happening more often than not, and I feel like getting that many hosts who dislike custom vehicles in a row is unlikely.

However, stats for your custom vehicle in online races is different from the stats you see in free roam. You'll find the stats are retarded in races to keep them more inline with the stock vehicles. However, a fully modded vehicle still has better stats than any stock vehicle.

If I remember correctly, a turbo and a couple of engine upgrades will make your vehicle slightly better than stock. Full engine, turbo, transmission upgrades will make it noticeably better.
